Honda Sōichiro(1906 – 1991 )( 本田 宗一路 )

The brilliant engineer and Honda Company founder Sōichiro Honda as a young boy, was not interested in traditional education. His school handed grade reports to the children, but required that they be returned stamped with the family seal, to make sure that a parent had seen it. Sōichiro created a stamp to forge his family seal out of a used rubber bicycle pedal cover!! The fraud was soon discovered when Honda started to make forged stamps for other children !!

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers( ASME )established the Sōichiro Honda Medal in recognition of Honda’s achievements in 1982.

In 1989 he was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame.

Sōichiro was posthumously appointed to the Senior 3rd rankin theorder of precedenceand appointed a Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun.
